My Happy Mind

My Happy Mind at Ley Top Primary

At Ley Top, we care deeply about every child’s happiness and well-being. That’s why we use the My Happy Mind programme across the whole school to support children’s mental health in a positive and practical way.

My Happy Mind is a child-friendly, science-based programme that helps children understand their feelings, build confidence, and develop a positive outlook. Through simple, engaging activities, children learn important life skills like resilience, self-control, and how to manage their emotions—helping them feel happier, calmer, and ready to learn.

What Does My Happy Mind Teach?

Through engaging, age-appropriate lessons, children learn about:

• Understanding the Brain – Learning how the brain works and how to keep it healthy.
• Growth Mindset – Building resilience and confidence to face challenges.
• Gratitude & Positivity – Developing habits that promote happiness and well-being.
• Self-Regulation & Relaxation – Learning breathing techniques and mindfulness strategies.
• Character Strengths – Recognising and developing personal strengths.

Why Do We Use My Happy Mind?

We believe that a child’s mental well-being isan important part of their learning and personal development. The My Happy Mind programme supports children in building confidence, strengthening their self-esteem, and developing the resilience they need for life.

By making these skills part of everyday school life, we help our children feel more confident in themselves and better prepared to face challenges with a positive attitude.
